Hi I have a master slave architecture setup currently. I'm evaluating SolrCloud.
I've read through most of the documentation, but what I can't seem to find is the preferred way to autoscale the cluster. In the master slave architecture, we have a autoscaling policy (CPU based) configured on Spotinst which adds a node and it replicates the index from the master and starts serving traffic. This helps us bring the cost of the cluster down by downscaling the cluster at low traffic times. What would be right way to do this in Cloud mode? Will replication factor need to be changed again and again for this? Would I have to call the ADDREPLICA api after adding a node as suggested here? https://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Autoscaling-in-8-2-td4451650.html#a4451659. It seems rather cumbersome compared to Master-Slave architecture How is SolrCloud usually run in production environments? With autoscaling turned off completely (apart from failure scenarios where a node crashes for ex)? -- Sent from: https://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-User-f472068.html
